The journey back home
Fri, 20th June, the day where I brought mum from a Women's ICU back home. I can see from the monitor that she was not doing too well, I prayed that she can reach home before her time comes.
On the way back, I can see that she started to gasp. I told her that "We are reaching, bear with it mum, you must make it home, everyone is waiting for you." I know that she can hear me. She tried very hard...
Finally after 10mins, we were back home and more than 20 relatives were waiting for mum in the house. Dr Shaw who followed us back from the hospital allowed us to view and talked to her for the last time before she extubates mum.
I talked to her for the last time and I can see her tears. I dont know how to describe the feeling. It's hard but, it's a relief for her. She was such a strong lady, she made it back home. She passed away peacefully at home, on her bed at 1145hrs.
There are a lot to prepare after that. Uncles and aunties are very supportive and helpful with the arrangement of the funeral. They have done so much for us and like what mum said "I am so fortunate to have this group of siblings, if there is next life, I still wish that they are my siblings!"... Well, I am also very fortunate to have this group of uncles and aunties. I really do not know how to thank them...
My feelings now? I miss mum... but I know she is in good hands....
